President Trump's wealth just notched a sizable bump, even as some of his splashiest ventures lose steam. Forbes now pegs the president's fortune at $6.5 billion, up $1.4 billion from a year ago, moving him to No. 645 on its global billionaires list from 700th. The biggest driver: crypto. Trump and his family's World Liberty Financial venture has generated an estimated $550 million from token sales, plus around $200 million from selling a "secret" 49% stake to an investment firm tied to UAE royal Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Trump still holds hundreds of millions in crypto tokens, a 38% stake in World Liberty Financial, and sharply higher values for Mar-a-Lago and his golf courses. A New York appeals court tossing a $517 million civil-fraud penalty also helped. His net worth, however, is off a September peak of $7.3 billion as crypto and Trump Media shares have slid.
